About Valencia
Valencia, situated along the Mediterranean shores, is the third largest city in Spain. This city is renowned for several reasons, one of the main being that it is home to the famous Spanish dish paella. Valencia is also the biggest orange producer in Spain, which comes as no surprise after seeing the orange-tree-lined streets winding through the city.
Each region of Spain is so different which also means so are the local traditions. Valencia is mainly known for its annual Las Fallas event. This fiesta takes place from March 15 to 19 on the streets of Valencia, where locals and visitors can experience light shows and fireworks. This festival has such deep roots in Valencian culture that it has even been recognized by UNESCO.
It is believed that the origins of this event date back to the medieval era when carpenters celebrated the first days of spring by burning all the materials they were no longer using. In today’s version, to celebrate this festival, people create big statues or dolls called ninots, made of wood, cardboard, and paper. On March 19, to end the event, these dolls are burnt, starting from the smallest to the biggest ones. Each one of them holds a special meaning, adding significance to this unique event.
Valencia is also the perfect destination for strolls, as it has some of the nicest honey-colored beaches in the region and big parks perfect for an afternoon picnic. This city is a great destination for solo travelers or couples of any age, as well as families with kids.
From Barcelona to Valencia: travel tips
While both cities share the same coast, they are just so different! Make sure nothing goes wrong on your trip from Barcelona to Valencia by knowing these good-to-know tips:
Know the difference between Valencian and Catalan
While Spanish is considered the lingua franca in the Valencian Community, nearly 30% of the locals are native Valenciano speakers. You will find it similar to Catalan, spoken in Barcelona, but never tell a Valencian that they speak Catalan. It is a very sensitive topic, so it is suggested not to compare the two.
Get the Tourist Card
Make the most out of Valencia by getting the Valencia Tourist Card. With this card, you will get free access and special discounts to several museums and other main landmarks, as well as free public transport rides. You can choose between 3 types of cards: 24, 47, or 72 hours. Make sure you go through your itinerary to see if getting this card would really pay off.

Once your drive from Barcelona to Valencia is over and you shut the Daytrip’s car door, it is time to discover the city’s treasures. Here are some of our favorite things to see or do when visiting Valencia:
Explore the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias
Designed in a futuristic style, The City of Arts and Sciences is one of the most emblematic landmarks of Valencia. This complex is divided into five main areas, each one of them offering a unique perspective on the city’s science and culture:
- L’Hemisfèric: this unique building represents the human eye and houses a laserium, planetarium, and IMAX cinema.
- Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe: an interactive science and technology museum.
- L'Umbracle: a Mediterranean garden or an outdoor gallery with sculptures.

Each part of the complex offers a different experience, so make sure to check them all and visit at least one of them.
Take a slow walk around the Turia Garden
If you are looking for a place to spend a peaceful afternoon, Jardín del Turia might be what you are looking for. This lush garden is amongst the largest urban parks in Spain, cherished by local families, runners, and cyclists. Be prepared for long leisure walks in this park that used to be the riverbed of the river Turia.
Admire the Cathedral of Valencia
The stunning Valencia Cathedral is built in Gothic style. This architectural masterpiece has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century. It is believed that Valencia has the original Holy Chalice used by Jesus. Whether it’s true or not, you have to decide for yourself by visiting this beautiful cathedral that will impress even those who are not religious. Don't forget to climb the bell tower Miguelete for the most panoramic views of the city.
Take a ferry to nearby islands
Valencia is known for its ferry port, so if you want to extend your trip and go on a Mediterranean island adventure, you can access destinations such as Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca, which are just a short ferry ride away.
When is the best time to visit Valencia
If you want to experience the best of Valencia, we recommend visiting the city in March during the Las Fallas event. In March, the temperatures are quite pleasant, but there may be limited availability and higher rates for hotels, given the popularity of the Las Fallas festival.
Generally speaking, the best time to visit Valencia is usually during the shoulder season, especially in spring when the city's gardens are blooming and the sweet scent of blossoms fills the air. Valencia is also a great destination for your fall vacation (from September to November), as the temperatures are still pleasant, and there will be even fewer crowds.
